OBJECTIVE (MCQ)

Q.1 Amoeba is a microscopic single-celled organism found in pond water. It has
a cell membrane, a rounded, dense nucleus and many small bubble-like
vacuoles in its cytoplasm. Amoeba constantly changes it shape and position.
It pushes out one or more finger-like projections, called pseudopodia or false
feet, for movement or for capturing food. A unicellular organism that has
contractile vacuoles and in which ingestion of food takes place with the help
of cilia is -
(a) Amoeba
(b) Yeast
(c) Paramecium
(d) None of these

Q.2 Amoeba
(a) is a single-celled organism
(b) has a rounded, dense nucleus
(c) has many small bubble-like vacuoles in its cytoplasm
(d) all the above are correct

Q.3 For capturing food, Amoeba
(a) pushes out finger-like projections
(b) has cilia
(c) both the above are correct
(d) both the above are incorrect

Q.4 The finger-like outgrowths of Amoeba help to ingest food. However, the finger-like
outgrowths of human intestine help to -
(a) digest the fatty food substances
(b) make the food soluble
(c) absorb the digested food
(d) absorb the undigested food

Q.5 Which structure in Amoeba helps in digesting food?
(a) Cytoplasm
(b) Pseudopodium
(c) Vacuole
(d) Nucleus
